are the Balkans this is Eastern Europe throughout the centuries a lot of strange and inexplicable phenomena happened here throughout the centuries people here believed in mythical creatures and the paranormal even today although it's the 21st century the time of science and rationalism there is still something that scares us all things we cannot find any explanation for because in the end try as we might there are some things that are beyond the limits of the rational these are ten scary allegedly true stories from Eastern Europe number one the ghost of the wedding guests I've been working as a taxi driver for seven years and I've seen a lot I've driven all sorts of crooks and had some problem with addicts but one event will be engraved in my memory for the rest of my life namely when I got a call from the dispatcher to go and fetch a person who I was supposed to drive to a certain village which was a little bit away from the city normally like every other time I would pick the person up and drive them to their destination and along the way we would have some small talk because I loved to discuss different topics with my customers after I left the customer where I was supposed to I began to head back to the city that village doesn't have streetlights which is actually common for godforsaken villages in these areas and as I was driving in the dark at one moment my car broke down and completely stopped I was so grumpy because I was in the middle of nowhere and I started to curse the car and tried to get it to start again but nothing happened the thing wouldn't start as if it was out of spite for me and as I was trying to start the dang jalopy I didn't even notice where the car had stopped as I lifted my head and looked around through the window I realized the car had stopped right next to the local cemetery it's not enough to say that I was appalled moreover I could have had a heart attack out of all the great fear I had I managed to gather myself and tried to start the car even faster and more uptight but with no success still and at that moment it happened scared and cowering in my car I began to hear music at first it was silent and then louder and louder it was confused as the radio in my car was turned off and I didn't understand what was going on then all of a sudden a group of people appeared in front of me they were dressed far too nicely to be out this late near a cemetery in the front of the line there was a bride and groom and behind them were the wedding guests and musicians who followed and they walked slowly and enjoyed themselves while singing and dancing and I must say fortunately they didn't pay much attention to me when they walked past me I was quite baffled and began to think who arranges a wedding in the middle of the night in a cemetery are these people crazy I started to start the car once more and it finally gave in the engine revved and when I got back to the city I finished my shift and went home still a little shaken I wasn't able to fall asleep for a long time that night thinking about this strange event something kept troubling me considering the fact that the next day I wasn't working I decided to go to the place once more this time during the daylight of course I reached the cemetery parked the car and when I saw it I almost fainted here in the exact place where my car had broken down there was now a tombstone for the married couple including several pictures someone had left there their faces were the same everything was the same the tombstone said they had died on their wedding day right away I immediately got back in the car and drove home I didn't want to stay there much longer it has been 8 months since then and to this day I've been having nightmares and dreaming of the exact scene which occurred in front of my eyes that night I still drive my taxi but I no longer accept to ride in the direction of that village no I'll never go back there again I don't want to go back to where the dead don't stay dead number two karakondzula or Kali can charros a creature from the old slavic mythology it was nighttime and I was walking back home from my friend's place alone it was pitch black outside and the only thing I used to light up my way was a very not so bright light from my mobile phone his house had been a few kilometers away from mine but the worst part was that in order to get to my place I had to walk through the woods even though I'd walked through it countless times before and never really felt afraid as I did not believe in stories about paranormal and strange things for some reason this time felt much more different you know that feeling when you think someone is watching or following you that was exactly what I was feeling in the moment and it was a strange sensation because no matter how much I kept telling myself that it was nothing and to stop putting ideas into my own head it just kept growing and so did the fear as I was walking it seemed to me the path got longer the more I walked the longer the path became by then my mind was reeling I was also singing and talking to myself trying to dispel the fear and as soon as I convinced myself that nothing was going to happen I began to hear light footsteps in the cracking of twigs it's needless to say that the blood in my veins completely froze I slowly turned around and pointed my mobile phone in that direction to shine the light that way however I didn't see anything but when I sighed and said to myself you're crazy you're only making this stuff up because you creeped out there in the corner of my eye and behind a tree I saw the creature small and disturbingly unnatural and covered in fur it looked like a three to four year old girl it had long black messy hair long fingers with even longer nails but it had a face of an old woman with glaring eyes I did not want to find out what it was so immediately I gave into running as fast as my legs could bear but no matter how fast I ran I still had the feeling it was right behind me all along indeed it was while I was running I felt it scratch at my back with its long sharp nails which terrified me and it's stung so I ran even faster than before luckily I made it to my neighborhood which was illuminated by streetlight so when I nearly reached my house I turned around completely and saw that the creature was now gone not wanting to take the chance I hurried up inside my house when my parents saw me blanched and torn up they asked me what had happened at first I was having second thoughts about telling them because I thought they would consider me insane or something however I told them what had happened and I even showed them the scratched on my back after I described the creature to them they agreed it was karakondzula the creature which attacked at night and during the so called unbaptized days or the twelve days of Christmas it all made sense to me then as I realized I'd not been crazy that was the first and hopefully the last time I'd seen the creature moreover I do not even visit that friend anymore so as to not take that path again so if you're in slavic country you might want to avoid the forests at night number three the dreck of AK literally the screamer or the Yeller a mythical creature from south slavic mythology I'm 34 years old and employed at a local company once I happen to stay longer at work one night about half an hour after midnight and when I finished my shift I finally headed home it was fine summer weather so I was going to work by motorcycle when I headed home I did not have the slightest idea that something bizarre and terrifying was about to happen as I was riding the motorcycle in the distance I saw a black dot it was in the middle of the road I thought it was some kind of a blot or hole in the asphalt however as I was approaching it it looked more and more like a living thing because it seemed to me that it was moving I stopped a few meters away from it and realized it was a child dressed in all black it was squatting in the middle of the road when I asked him boy what are you doing out here so late and why are you in the middle of the road do your parents know where you are then only then did I realize it was not a child or a person at all as it turned around and gnashed its teeth toward me I saw it was a kind of creature which resembled some sort of animal maybe a monkey or wolf or something I didn't know what it was and I was too horrified to find out it then let out a horrible screech which has been haunting me even to this day still ringing in my ears the scream was so horrible a mixture of a child's cry and a wolf's howl I had no idea how I'd started the motorcycle and dashed away from the creature but I kept looking at it in the rearview mirror fearing that it would come after me however the thing stood still just staring in my direction in my mirror I could still see that it was gnashing its teeth up and down I managed to get home in one piece and I immediately told my husband to park the motorcycle in the garage for me it was too upset to go back out there seeing the look on my face he didn't hesitate to do that for me and he quickly came back inside after doing so then I began to tell him what had happened he told me not astonished at all that that creature was Ange Rekha vac and that it started to appear a few years ago around the same time one of his relative sons died unbaptized next he explained to me that the draco vac is the Phantom or echo of an unbaptized child who has passed away or off in a drowned person and that my case was not the first he'd heard he knew several people who had seen the same creature several of which were recent ever since that happened my husband has been driving me to and from work as I do not want to risk running into that thing again I have to admit it that I was constantly waking up at night because I have dreams about the things things and I can still hear it screaming in my head is clear as I first heard it number four the girl and the jacket it happened about a year ago but I remember as if it was yesterday unfortunately my brother is still at a psychiatric institution and it is questionable whether he will ever be able to recover from it or not it was in early spring a jacket was obligatory at least they lied one for the spring time my brother being a young man in his best years used to always go out and visit clubs during that time in less Kovach South Serbia a new club opened and my brother being a party maniac had to pay it a visit the night went on great he had a wonderful time but it was soon time to go home keep in mind that that evening my brother hadn't drank a drop of alcohol as he would have to drive home and the fines for duis were enormous as he was driving and it was chilly outside along the way he ran into a girl in a red dress with bare shoulders and since he himself was going in the same direction as her he decided to be a gentleman and give her a ride home he noticed her shiver so he gave her his jacket to drape over her shoulders and to warm herself as she was shivering from the cold as they were traveling to her house they started to talk and then began to make jokes and tease each other and soon they arrived at her place my brother ain't tried-and-true stud and gentleman got out of the car to walk her to the gate however it was pitch black out and he could barely see anything when she wanted to give him his jacket back he as a joke said now I know where you live so tomorrow I'll come for a cup of coffee at your place so that you can repay me for driving you home and you can give me the jacket back later the girl smiled and agreed with that and said that she couldn't wait to see him again the night passed and my brother was visibly happy when he returned home right away he told me all about everything that happened and I was very happy for him the next day finally came and he started to get ready all happy and joyful dressing up grooming himself and primping himself then he finally left to go meet the girl he arrived at the house and rang the bell and with a smile on his face waited for her to open the door however she wasn't home her mother opened the door instead and clearly surprised asked how she could help he get aliy asked if her daughter was home assuming that it was her mother explaining that he had an invitation to come by for coffee and to pick up his jacket then the woman said my boy you're neither the first nor the last man to come here your jackets not here and neither is my daughter but I do know where your jacket might be he was so confused he wasn't understanding what she was talking about he followed her instructions and at that very moment she showed him something which made his blood run cold at the gate the same one he left the girl standing at there was a grave marker with the girl's name something he wasn't able to see the previous night as it was so dark my brother looking rather pale didn't know what to say and the woman told him to try to calm down and follow her inside then she explained to him but her daughter has been dead for three years and at that very spot he picked her up she died in a car crash on a day she was coming back home from the city while she was telling him that she walked him to the cemetery and the woman showed him here and this is your jacket I believe it was it was definitely his jacket and when she removed it from the gravestone it was the gravestone of the girl not just a marker of her passing but the actual tombstone he approached it and fell to his knees in disbelief and to solidify the whole thing the mother handed him a photo of the girl and it was truly her the same woman he had picked up last night the woman he had been talking to not long before as I've already said it's been a year and my brother still hasn't recovered from that number five the vampire from les Quebec even though it's not generally known the word vampire is of Serbian origin and almost all languages in the world accepted it that word had it's a major breakthrough when Bram Stoker's most famous novel Dracula was published however the original old Slovak more precisely Serbian vampire defers from Stoker's first of all the original vampire is more than just a blood drinking creature who looks like a man that is the Living Dead the true serbian vampire is a creature which resembles the soul of the deceased that has not found peace that soul can take the form of any animal but it can also be a regular looking ghost or a poltergeist meaning it can be invisible but not its actions the following story is one from the vicinity of les Quebec namely his stories about something strange happening have been circulating there for some time now it has been a month since an old lady passed away who was vicious and evil in her lifetime and only a day after her death strange things began to happen people reported hearing various noises coming from her attic the basement and other parts of her house including the back yard but upon checking them they found nothing at first they did not pay it much mind but it became frequent over time one day late at night we were sitting in front of the house and talking casually we did not turn on the light in front of the house because we enjoyed the dark we were chit-chatting when suddenly the metal gate began to bang instantly we jumped to our feet terrified and pointed in the direction using our mobile phones flashlights the second we pointed the lights the banging stopped and of course we saw nothing we thought it may have been a stray dog which ran off before we could see it so we continued our casual talk when soon the banging started again this time however it was coming from the direction of her barn more precisely the entrance of it the barn door was closing and opening on its own and at that moment we realized the matter may be serious and ran over to the barn we saw the animals inside were obviously upset and there was a certain chill in the air a sense of dread was palpable all around us I could barely stand to stay in there for long my father somehow managed to calm the animals down and soon the chill faded away almost an hour passed by afterwards and by then we had already come inside the house when suddenly jars and glass bottles began to fall down and break in the Attic terrified we jumped up to our feet again after which my father took the rifle and went into the Attic to check there he saw a very large owl giant in fact he said it was 90 centimeters in height along with its size what froze the blood in his veins were its eyes which were human out of fear my father dropped the rifle and then the owl started to laugh creepy human-like laughter the laughter of an old long-past woman the bellowing of an evil Crone we all heard it's coming from the Attic and even to this day it keeps me up at night when I recall it after its hysterical laughter it fled into the dark and disappeared we stayed up all night horrified as soon as it dawned we invited a priest to the house to read prayers and purge the house from evil nothing has happened since then at least not in our house but in other people's houses they are still happenings whether it really is that Crone vampire or just a rare and extremely weird owl I don't know but I hope it stays away from our house for good number 6 still watched submitted by Peter D this is the first time I've decided to open up about what happened two years ago so I'm sorry if I miss a few details I live in a small village in the Czech Republic in South Moravia and this is my story two years ago I woke up at midnight in complete paralysis I heard a few words words saying please help me it's coming for me I was so scared but I didn't even want to move my eyes to the direction the words were coming from about ten minutes later I heard a woman screaming for help so I got up from my bed and went into the hallway at the end of the hallway there's a door that leads to the back yard that ends at a few trees that quickly become a small forest that's where me and my friend used to play hide and seek but this night I saw there a woman dressed in white almost glowing with her white dress in our back yard I heard steps so I looked in the same direction the steps were coming from and I saw one lonely man dressed in a black coat he turned his head my way and I can clearly remember how he slowly and calmly told me not to be bothered and he's not here for me this time his face was pale almost completely white and he had no mouth nose or eyes and then I heard him speak again like I said don't worry I'm not here for you yet he said it like he was warning me to go away like he wasn't wanting me to see what was going to happen and that's the last thing that I remember from that night the next morning my parents woke me up I was lying on the floor of our hallway when they asked me how I got there I haven't said anything of what I saw that night but a few weeks ago I heard voices talking about something called the Ghost Rider I know it sounds silly if you're thinking of the Nicholas Cage movie but it has nothing to do with that and now I'm afraid I'm going to see him again and I'm afraid even more that he'll be back for me number 7 my house was haunted by a demon submitted by anonymous this was during the summer of 2017 and I was 14 it all began when my granddad passed away he had passed in his car and we took it because my uncle didn't want it everything was fine for the next couple of days until one day my grandma goes downstairs around 7:30 in the morning and sees that all the windows are open which for me was really strange because the way my windows are is that you have to open an inner sight in an outer side this really made my grandma worried because she said it might have been a demon but that was something we expected from her she was Bulgarian and very religious on the other hand my mom told her to calm because she said it was probably me or my brother or sister forgetting to close them but it wasn't we hadn't opened any of those windows that day but next night nothing happened but on the 3rd my mom woke up to someone choking her and she said that it felt like someone who had the worst and most evil intentions now of course my grandma got really scared doubling down on the whole demon idea so she went back to her own house which now her daughter-in-law lives in with her son now here is where it gets really freaky now we live in a small village in Bulgaria and it's surrounded by deep dark forests which you can get easily lost in especially at night but we have neighbors beside us that are around one acre apart and the closest town is around a 10-minute drive away and the closest full city was about 20 minutes away so if someone was going to murder us it would take the police 20 minutes because our village in the nearby town do not have a police force scary I know the last thing I want to say is how our house is laid out our main floor has no walls between the dining room and kitchen and living room except for our bathroom because that of course has to have some coverage and the basement is really creepy I'm always so cold down there and my mom never lets us down there when she can she's always talking about how she plans unlocking the basement door up and throwing away the key so now let's continue the night after my mom felt choked me and my brother felt thirsty so we went downstairs we were creeped out from the recent events so we decided to go together we start to pour water in a glass when suddenly the plates and glasses and dishes around us are thrown and fallen to the floor smashing onto the ground we quickly run as fast as we can back upstairs and lock ourselves in our bedroom the next day we tell our mom what happened and she believes us she's starting to believe that it might be a demon she calls a local priest and he starts cleansing the house but he says something powerful lives here my mom asks what kind of thing it might be and he says a demon who feeds on fear he blesses our house and says may God be with you then he banishes the so called demon many says goodbye and heads out that night nothing did happen and we honestly thought it was over after that but oh my how we were wrong the next night we experienced the most horrifying thing but demons started shaking me and my brother's bunk bed my brother and I were so scared we were crying out loud my mom rushed in and suddenly everything stopped she got really pissed at the demon that's what we honestly thought it was by then she pulled out a Ouija board from the basement my mom was willing to risk the danger in order to get some answers we asked the demons name and something replied with at honest which is an old Bulgarian name and my brother asked it how did you die and it replied fire our mom asked it a question what do you want from us and it replied with life we quickly said goodbye and it said goodbye as well we called the priest back and had him do an exorcism of the place we had nothing bad happened to us for a long time which was great I just don't know how long the peace will last [Music] number eight I will never forget this submitted by Victoria [Music] I live in Poland let me start by saying my parents divorced when I was around four or five years old so I don't remember much from back then but I do know my father was always good to me I'm his only child after all to this day we have great relations with each other I have a sister but she's older than me and she was born from a different father my dad raised her as his own daughter my father worked and still does work in Germany as a construction worker when I was 10 and my sister was 18 we visited him for the first time it was an amazing trip the second time I visited him alone I was around 14 or 15 years old and he was living in a different city in Eastern Europe with his new family he met Monica she was also Polish like us and at the time she was divorced and had three children of her own Dominique who was the youngest Patricia the middle child and Eveline who was 18 they also had a big boy cat that was all black named Lynn art they all got along well and were like one big family that was happy for my father because they were all really sweet together a group of caring people and I got along with them too they were living in a two-story house so naturally I got to sleep in the bedroom on the second floor it wasn't a big room but for me it was okay especially because it had a balcony from which you could watch the stars the last night I was staying there Havoline decided to sleep with me so we could watch movies together and I was happy the cat stayed with us in our room and let me tell you he was the type to stay in one room all night and stay calm and quiet like no cat I ever knew we closed the door and Evelyn and I got to sleep around 10:20 p.m. after getting tired of looking at a bright TV screen for a few hours then art was with us sleeping soundly at the bottom of the bed I remembered that at some time in the night I woke up feeling really scared at that time the cat was clawing at the door and meowing like crazy in distress to let him out which was weird for him to do as I mentioned before he was a really calm animal I set up but immediately regretted it for a few seconds I set there in total darkness I saw someone standing by the desk I will never forget the dread I felt at that moment realizing we weren't alone in that room it was a tall all-black human-shaped figure I've heard of shadow people before and I think I even saw one before in the past but that time it was even scarier I jumped up under the blanket breathing rapidly as I tried to wake up my stepsister Eveline Eveline wake up there's someone in our room I whispered when she finally woke up she whispered back to me it's only the cat she raised up as she said it but her regret was even bigger than mine I could see it on her face when she saw it then like me she dove under the blanket and we both began to cry I saw it I saw it she said after that we both didn't remember too much in the morning as we set there and hugged ourselves for comfort we woke up the next day and we were both still freaked out about what happened we asked everybody if they were checking on us at night and they said they didn't also the shadow didn't even look like anyone in the house so maybe we were just in denial we considered someone had broke in by the balcony but the balcony door was loud and we would have heard it besides if someone did break in and that's just a different kind of Horror Story it was the creepiest night of my life we both saw it and the cat even freaked out about it I'm 20 now and I hope I'll never see something like that again especially in the middle of the night number 9 the scariest encounter of my life submitted by Alina this is a bizarre encounter I had while visiting my grandparents in Poland now me personally I wasn't one of those people who would click on paranormal videos that claimed to be true and then comment that it was all fake but what happened to me and my brother that day scared the living crap out of us you see my family is European so when I turned 21 I decided to visit my grandparents there for the first time I took my 13 year old brother along with me let's call him Ricky I decided that this would be a surprise visit so my grandparents didn't know Ricky and I were coming they live out in the country because in that section of Poland you don't really come across civilization until maybe five miles away from their house their land was surrounded by woods and they had a 2-story house in a big clearing this will be important later in the story I love to see pictures of these woods and I really wanted to go there it just seemed so quiet and peaceful little did I know that it was going to be the exact opposite of that as soon as our plane landed I rented a car and Ricky and I got in and began to drive it would take quite a while to get there so Ricky said in the backseat on my phone about 10 minutes into driving I began to get this really weird vibe I've never been to my grandparents property but I've seen pictures and I know the directions there by heart the further into the woods I drove though the more I got this Oh God a vibe like when you've realized that you've done something very tragically stupid this feeling continued for a few more minutes then finally subsided this whole time Ricky was being very quiet he looked back to check on him I saw him just staring out the window I thought he was just looking at the woods so with him thoroughly distracted I continued to drive a few minutes later I got to the house it looked exactly as it did in the pictures I parked the car outside the big gate and opened it it was one of those big cast iron gates and it was rusted all over I called for Ricky to give me back my phone and since I was within reach of their house I decided to call them but no one picked up that was quite strange our grandparents were always eager to pick up the phone for us no surprise though they do live out in the middle of nowhere and they had no one to talk to after all I called a few more times but with each call no one had picked up yet in the windows I could see that the lights were on and I could see human silhouettes to the big gates at the front were locked so we had to climb over them which was pretty easy despite all the designs from the iron on the gate after I climbed over I helped Ricky over my grandparents house is weird because the entrance to the place is on the second floor and you have to climb a staircase to get there and on the lower portion there is a small house and a big room which was sometimes used as a cellar we ran up the stairs and knocked on the door but no one answered I knocked once more and began to call out that it was Elina and Ricky then I finally heard the deadbolt on latch from the inside and my grandma opened the door she just stood there for a minute then grabbed us and pulled us inside when we were inside she called my grandpa and told him to come see me took us to the living room and they began asking us how we've been and all that how do they were done hugging us and asking us questions I asked my grandma why they didn't pick up their phones she stood there for a second quietly then bit her lip and looked at my grandpa she then turned to us and said that her phone had been broken fast-forward to the next day I Ricky wanted me to play hide and seek with him in the woods back where we lived in California we didn't really see full forests so I agreed I was the first seeker and I began to count against a tree I could hear Ricky's laugh as he ran off to find a hiding spot after counting to 30 I looked up and looked around during the day the woods looked more impressive than at night tall trees rising up to touch the sky the green knee-high grass swaying in the wind I walked out of the gates and looked at the forest the woods surround the property so wherever you go you'll be going into the woods I began to walk down the main path the one from where I came from yesterday I figured that my brother must have ran a little off the path in order to find a good hiding spot I searched for half an hour and then I returned to the house I saw my brother waving at me from the top of the stairs next to the door and his face looked horrified I ran up to meet him he was yelling at me to run faster as I did when I got close he pulled me inside and locked the door behind me I asked him why he was yelling like that he told me to stay quiet and to follow him then he took me to his room I didn't realize it but that whole time my brother still had my phone he knows my passcode so Ian's locked my phone and opened the camera app the first picture showed him in his small rundown shed in the back of the house and the second was of me counting the next picture was of my walking off going to find him and the next part was of a video it showed me walking off I asked him what the deal was why he was taking pictures of that stuff he then shushed me and told me to look closer at what was behind me when I walked away it was me walking off but then something emerged from the bushes behind me it looked to be a dog my brother zoomed in on the screen and I realized it was holding its leg up as if it was limping and I saw that it didn't have a tail I asked Riki what kind of dog that could be he then dopin DUP Google and looked up dogs with no tails and it showed a slender cream-colored creature its eyes were human so human in fact that I got scared just looking at the image I asked Riki what the heck that thing was and he said the closest thing he could compare it to in America was he skinwalker I freaked out he said that a dog without a tail and human-like eyes is a common sign of the skinwalker later that day I asked my grandparents why they were acting so strange they've been admitted to me that something had been terrorizing the animals in the forests the birds stopped singing the crickets didn't appear at night nothing my grandfather admitted to me that one night he had seen a tall white figure streaking across the fields he shot at it with a rifle and hit it and the creature let out a bellowing ear piercing screech and since then he and my grandma had been really on edge just a few days ago they found a deer on the road with bite marks on its homes and its chest torn open after lunch I took Rikki and we both hightailed it back out of there we made it home safely but I swear as long as I live I'm not going back there I pray for my grandparents safety I pray that whatever my brother saw following me that day will stay far far away from us and number 10 vampire in the forest submitted by Stefan I live in Northeast Romania and this story happened two years ago when I was 17 summer break had started and my girlfriend Agatha and I decided to take a tour of the East Carpathians so we took a train to Bruce off once we reached the city Agatha and I agreed to visit the famous brand castle where Dracula supposedly lived we arrived there at 11 in the morning the tour was not out of the usual and the guide showed us our way through each and every room beautifully decorated by the way while telling us the history of the castle the two are finished at around 7 p.m. when we decided to walk around the town the red light of dusk set upon every nook and cranny of the city by 10 that night so we decided to go to a local bar in order to grab a beer nothing out of the ordinary happened while we were at the bar but when we laughed and was already pitch black outside and we had to walk around for miles back to our hostel Agatha proposed to take the shortcut through the forest in order to shorten the walk by half - which I was hesitant but in the end I agreed as I thought nothing could go wrong we reached the treeline when a feeling of being watched settled upon me and told akathist like the idea of venturing through the forest at night in an unknown area I thought I was always the rational one but she locked me and started running through the forest teasing me I ran after her jumping over roots of trees and stumps while I was running I fixated my sight upon my girlfriend running and laughing ahead of me suddenly I tripped over one of the roots and face-planted into the ground as I stood back up and shook my head I noticed my girlfriend was nowhere to be seen she must have run ahead I thought right as I was finishing my thought I was surprised by the sound of crushed leaves and footsteps to my left I quickly took my lighter and lit it only wanting to get a glimpse of what it could be out in the dark but I couldn't really see anything I continued going ahead of me as I had no clue where I came from or where I was heading being summer the dense canopy engulfed the surroundings and endless darkness scarcely pierced by the dim light of the moon as the wind shook the trees enough to create an opening as I was rapidly walking through the forest towards where I thought my girlfriend ran to I heard the sound of the footsteps over leaves again is anyone there I said in a shaky voice as I stood there looking round at trying to pierce through the darkness I saw it too red eyes staring at me from the branches as I looked at them for what seemed like an eternity they then vanished and what happened next I will never forget I felt a cold to touch on my back right over my backbone I swiftly turned around but nothing was there again as I stood there petrified I heard laughter from all around at that moment I had no idea what to do next I started to run back to where I thought the tree line was only to feel tackled to the ground by a strong force there's no running a voice whispered in my ear I let out the most terrified scream then the pressure let go and I couldn't help but think this thing was playing with me I heard footsteps to my left and then I saw it a humanoid looking creature standing at about seven feet tall its head it was the shape of a bat with long gears and patches of fur and a snout and fangs long enough that can pierce through metal if they wanted to and those dreadful red eyes and had hands that were long and thin ending in sharp claws at that moment I got up and ran as fast as I could I could hear above me what I can only compare to the sounds of a bird's wings when they fly but I did not dare look up or behind me at that moment I thought I was doomed and then I finally saw light the head I ran towards it I could see there were locals holding flashlights and when they saw me they pointed their lights towards me what are you doing up here at night it's dangerous in these woods one of the men told me I I stuttered the hell is that screamed one of the men while pointing their flashlight into the woods only to see the piercing red eyes of that same creature as we laughed I explained to them what happened and John the oldest one of them told me that I may have had an encounter with what they call a vampire and that I'm lucky to have lived even after being that up close to it I didn't believe it vampires don't exist do they as for my girlfriend she was waiting for me back at the hostel dead scared we decided to go to sleep after that after I told her my story and gave her a piece of my mind she apologized and we tried to go to bed but needless to say neither of us were sleeping that night if you ever find yourself in Northeast Romania watch yourself beware of the forests and there we have it 10 stories from Eastern Europe that will have your spine chilled for a while many of us have bloodlines over there and ancestry I know I do but after hearing these it's kind of hard to want to go back sure there's plenty of culture and maybe even family waiting for me but I'm not a big fan of being prey for something bigger and good night a huge thanks goes out to Dimitri a beam each for putting this video together thanks so much for putting together those first five awesome stories and this topic as I promised here are my favorite early comments from my previous video on five myspace scary stories Irish mud says thanks for making my day and an excuse to not do my homework hey I might be the worst kind of influence but at least I'm an influencer so I can be proud about that Bram's art says I never had a myspace but I'm still edgy I think calling yourself edgy might defeat the purpose of being edgy then again being humble isn't edgy oh god it's so confusing Adrianna Sanchez says darkness I feel like you've been ignoring me with your videos what are you saying are you upset that I haven't cherry picked your comments over 300,000 fans well believe me if I could hire a hundred thousand robots to help me cover this I definitely would until then it's just me baby and long live the king baby doll
